are you serious? what makes you say that at all. not only are you pretty notorious for unjustified hate, you have no clue about whats goin on with our linemen. stinch signed a long term deal because he earned it then justified it by making the pro bowl.

ppl think our line regressed because they dont understand football. not running the ball increased drews chances of getting pressured and sacked but it wasnt because our line regressed. its because we passed the ball 600+ times

weve had this argument before. in my eyes he had 2 good seasons and last year he wasnt that great. frankly im too tired to argue it any more. also...i feel i justify all my hatred

Stench got owned in the Seattle playoff loss. His man was in Brees face all day. He also stunk it up the entire regular season. If you're ok with that type of piss poor Right Tackle play, more power to you.

Lets remember he detached his quad from the bone in week 7. He played the rest of the season with that injury. Now I have never had a detached anything, but when they have to screw it back to the bone.......Ouch. Stinch is tougher than alot give him credit for.

New Orleans was one of only two teams in 2010 to start the same five offensive linemen in all 16 games. So why do we have a Saints offensive lineman on our list of injuries to watch? The answer is threefold. First, Stinchcomb may have avoided missing a start, but that seems to have been because of a superhuman pain threshold. It turns out he played more than half the season with a torn right quadriceps that required surgery after New Orleans was eliminated from the playoffs. Second, one of the reasons the Saints were unable to defend their title was an inability to run the ball efficiently, as they fell from first in 2009 to 25th in 2010. A revolving door at running back was a factor in the decline, but so was the fact that Stinchcomb was playing at less than 100 percent: New Orleans' largest directional decline was on runs behind right tackle (fourth to 23rd).

Finally, as late as one month ago, Stinchcomb was still not fully recovered from his injury. In April's draft, the Saints selected the highest-rated running back, so half their problem appears to have been solved. However, they also ignored offensive tackle altogether, which means that the other half of the solution depends primarily on Stinchcomb's surgically repaired knee.

I've been VERY critical of his play; but if his quality of play is due to injury and he still took the field, I for one will have to look into getting a Stinchcomb jersey (even though wearing another man's jersey is a little weird for me)...
